Big fan of lazz (and also blues and acid rock and other things), and my taste has gradually caught up with general trends...well, from 50s bebop to 60s jazz. I'm always 50 years behind. Like, hated Sex Pistols in 1977, love them starting in 2005.
Anyway.
Arthur Blythe, 70s jazz horn player, died in March, and I had one record of his that I enjoyed, and I read an obituary that linked to another story, and then another, and it all led to this guy: Horace Tapscott. He's dead too. But in 1989 he made a record that is just a knockout, I mean I can't stop listening to it. It's incredibly propulsive modern jazz, but it's very grounded in blues, and it doesn't sound like six guys refusing to ever do anything but honk and wheeze loudly. It's funky, melodic, hypnotizing...it's super driving music, and actually I often listen to it through headphones as I crank out work.
This record is worthy of any hype attached to it. And there's plenty.
